A study done by Dr. Brett Johnson from Colorado State University was presented to the "Technical Committee" for Grand Lake Clarity on September 25, 2014. The report; EFFECTS OF WATER CLARITY AND OTHER FACTORS ON AQUATIC LIFE OF GRAND LAKE, COLORADO, concludes that any change of flows through Grand Lake would be detrimental to the fish populations in Grand Lake.

“improving water clarity in Grand Lake [with measures] that reduce or eliminate the enriching effects of Shadow Mountain Reservoir nutrients and zooplankton will likely be detrimental to the growth and production of Grand Lake’s fish populations.” - Dr. Brett Johnson

REMEMBER: You have a say in the matter! In the near future watch for what you can do to help protect Grand Lake's aquatic life. Give our wildlife a voice!
